Chocolate Marble Drizzle Cake Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• . In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together.
• .
• Cream the butter and sugar together.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each.
• Continue beating until the mixture is light and cream colored.
• Add the vanilla and milk.
• Add about one-third of the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
• Do not beat more than necessary.
• Add one-half of the sour cream and mix in.
• Repeat with another one-third of the flour, then half the sour cream, and then the remaining flour.
• . Remove about one-third of the completed batter to another bowl.
• Add the cocoa to the two-thirds portion of the batter, folding in with a spatula until smooth.
• . Spoon one-half the chocolate batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan.
• Then, spoon the vanilla batter on top of the chocolate batter in three or four pools.
• Spoon on the remaining chocolate batter. Hold a knife vertically and cut through the batters to create a swirled effect.
• Do not stir but cut the knife through batters every three-quarters of an inch or so to create the swirls (less is better).
• Bake for 50 minutes or until the cake tests done with skewer or toothpick inserted in the center.
• Remove the cake to a wire rack and let it cool for five minutes before removing the ring.
• All chocolate variation:
• Simply skip the steps of removing part of the vanilla batter and swirling the two batters together.
• Increase the cocoa by one tablespoon.
• Topping:
• Bring the cream to a boil.
• Place the chips in a medium bowl.
• Pour the hot cream over the chips and stir to melt.
• Add the butter and stir until smooth.
• Set the chocolate topping aside to cool until it is of a thick pouring consistency. (The chocolate should barely pour.)
• Pour the chocolate over the cooled cake letting some of it drizzle down the sides.
• If you have any leftover chocolate, warm it slightly and drizzle it in a few random lines over your serving plates for a nice presentation.
• (If you chill the plates first, the chocolate will set up nicely when drizzled on the plates.)
